Definitions

  • the invention relates to arranging roaming in a telecommunications system comprising a wireless local access network and a public land mobile network (PLMN).
  • PLMN public land mobile network
  • the general packet radio service provides GSM networks with efficient data transmission, where radio capacity is only reserved during transfer of packets.
  • GPRS general packet radio service
  • a 3G universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), standardized by 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), will provide even higher data transmission capacity than GSM/GPRS networks.
  • UMTS 3G universal mobile telecommunications system
  • a radio interface provided by a UMTS terrestrial radio access network is based on enhanced WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) technology, and a core network is based on the GSM/GPRS core network.
  • WCDMA Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
  • WLAN wireless local area network
  • GSM-based base stations can be used in an office data system to provide a wireless connection to the local area network of the office.
  • WLANs have also been provided with network elements, with which the WLAN can utilize a PLMN.
  • WLANs according to the IEEE 802.11 standard and GSM networks have been provided with network elements for accessing GSM authentication and billing services via a WLAN.
  • Roaming can also be arranged in a WLAN, i.e. a user can be authenticated in the local network where he is roaming (and with which he typically has no service contract made in advance) by means of the PLMN, a subscriber identification module (in the GSM a subscriber identity module SIM) provided by the home PLMN (HPLMN), and subscriber data located in the subscriber's home network.
  • a mobile station can also be located for example abroad in the area of a local network with no direct connection to the subscriber's HPLMN but only to one or more networks of other PLMN operators. In order to provide successful roaming in such a situation, PLMN operators must have mutual roaming agreements determining how a roaming subscriber is to be charged.
  • the mobile station When a roaming mobile station contacts a local network, it is not necessarily aware of the PLMNs that are available via the local network in question. In such a case, the mobile station must provide the local network with the network identifier (PLMN ID) of its HPLMN operator. Based thereon, the local network should select the PLMN that the roaming user should use. For this purpose, the local network should store data about the PLMNs where the user can roam, and preferably also data on the preferred PLMNs. This would require additional functionality and increase the need for memory capacity in the local network, and it might also cause conflicts of interest between the PLMN operators and the operators of local area networks.
  • PLMN ID network identifier
  • An objective of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement for implementing roaming in local networks, which provide access to PLMNs.
  • the objectives of the invention are achieved by a method, a telecommunications system and a wireless terminal equipment which are characterized by what is disclosed in the independent claims.
  • the preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • PLMN identifiers and network element identifiers linked therewith are determined in a system and transmitted to a terminal equipment.
  • PLMN selection is performed by means of a comparison of the received PLMN identifiers and PLMN identifiers stored in the terminal equipment.
  • the terminal equipment is provided access, via a local network, to a network element defined by a network element identifier linked with the identifier of the selected PLMN.
  • a local network is typically either a wireless local area network (WLAN) or a wired local area network (LAN) operating on a non-licensed frequency range, but the scope of application of the invention is not restricted thereto, however.
  • WLAN wireless local area network
  • LAN wired local area network
  • An advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that the network can be selected in the mobile station according to the preferences set by the user and/or the HPLMN operator. Therefore, the local network does not require data about roaming agreements between different PLMN operators, nor is it necessary to provide local networks with functionality implementing network selection. Thus, the interests of users, local network operators and PLMN operators can be satisfied through network selection carried out by the mobile station, and by using the PLMN identifiers the mobile station contains.
  • the mobile station can utilize arrangements that are similar to the network selection methods used in existing PLMNs.
  • a PLMN network element indicated by an identifier is an authentication server.
  • the authentication server defined by the network element identifier linked with the identifier of the selected PLMN thus performs the authentication between each user and the PLMN.
  • Data transmission services can be provided in a local network and/or a PLMN where the mobile station is roaming if successful authentication has taken place between the mobile station and the selected PLMN. Therefore highly functional and highly reliable PLMN authentication methods can also be applied on roaming users in local networks.
  • a user does not necessarily have to have a subscription with a local network operator, but he may also be able to use local network services by means of a subscriber identification module provided by the UMTS operator, for example.
  • billing data about the telecommunication services the mobile station has used is transmitted from the local network to the PLMN billing system, provided that the mobile station has been successfully authenticated. The roaming mobile station can thus also be charged via the HPLMN operator.

  • the AP also manages bridging of data streams at the radio interface or routing thereof to and from other network nodes.
  • the local network BAN also comprises a control element or a gateway element BANGW (BAN Gateway).

  • the authenticator forwards 320 data about successful authentication to the MS.
  • the USIM can then calculate the cipher key CK and possibly the integrity key IK, and both the MS and the authenticator can transmit the cipher key CK to the ciphering means, which thereafter cipher traffic by means of the cipher keys according to the UMTS network.
  • the MS can then be provided 321 (Usage of BAN Services) at least with data transmission services of the local network BAN.
  • the charging of the MS can be initiated via the BANGW or the access point AP and the authentication server AUTS, which collects charging data from the BANGW or the AP by means of the AAA protocol, such as a RADIUS protocol, and generates charging data records CDR to be transmitted to the UMTS charging system.
  • the message 319 contains information about the unsuccessful authentication, whereupon the MS will not preferably be provided with services in the local network BAN (nor preferably in the roamed UMTS network PLMN).
  • the data transmission between the MS and the authenticating base station AP can be implemented for example by means of the EAP for WLAN (EAPOL) determined in the IEEE 802.1x protocol.
  • the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol in turn, can be used between the authenticator (AP or BANGW) and the AUTS.
  • RADIUS proxy servers between the authenticator and the AUTS for transmitting RADIUS messages.
  • the AUTS can communicate with the SGSN (or the 3GMSC) (either directly via the HPLMN or the PLMN) for example by means of a protocol over the TCP/IP, and the SGSN (3GMSC) in turn can communicate with the authentication centre HLR/AuC according to the Gr interface (the 3GMSC in turn communicates according to the MAP).
  • the AUTS can also communicate directly with the AuC for example using the MAP.
  • the PLMN identifier PLMN ID and the authentication server identifiers linked therewith can also be transmitted in an [EAP-Request/Identity] message ( 303 ).
  • the MS thus performs network selection after it has received the EAP request and it responds with an NAI (step 306 ) containing the realm identifier according to the selected network.
  • the AP of the local network operates as an EAP authenticator instead of the BANGW. It is also possible that the MS transmits a request [EAP-Response/Identity], to which the BANGW responds with system information.
  • the MS can use the UMTS network also for other purposes, as illustrated already in connection with FIG. 1 a .
  • One possibility is to set up a data transmission connection via the local network BAN to the UMTS network PLMN by means of the aforementioned service node BSN and the access it provides to the UMTS core network and particularly to the SGSN.
  • the MS can transmit and receive data via a broadband connection provided by the local network BAN by utilizing, however, the PLMN coverage and the services specified in the subscription, which the user has also used via the WCDMA radio access of the UMTS network. This expands the availability of the UMTS services and provides easy access to the service also for mobile stations MS roaming outside the HPLMN.
  • the MS can also start using the radio access provided by the radio network controllers and base stations (node B) of the selected UMTS network PLMN.
  • Such a handover can be implemented for example automatically when none of the local network access points AP can provide sufficiently high data transmission quality.
  • the PLMN identifiers PLMN ID and the authentication server identifiers linked therewith can also be determined in some other location than in the local network BAN, and they can be forwarded to the roaming MS from some other location.
  • a UMTS network PLMN can store such data and broadcast it via UMTS base stations (nodes B) or possibly also via the local network BAN, which only has to forward the data to the MS.
